SKU: A0.993444
Composed by Olivier Costa. Contemporary. Octavo. 18 pages. OLIVIER COSTA #6671651. Published by OLIVIER COSTA (A0.993444).« AMITIÉ » is a composition of about six minutes long for a women's choir (SSAA). It can also be performed by a male choir (TTBB), in this case the singers must read in octabassa treble clef. This piece sets to music a selection of poems based on friendship, taken from the collection "Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d´Orphée" by Guillaume Apollinaire. We will hear "The cat", "The peacock", "The owl" and "The ox".
The bond of friendship is symbolized here by an element of percussion: the friction of a metal chain, played by the members of the choir from the beginning to the end of the piece. This implies that the choir must use a stand or sing in pairs, one holding the sheet music and the other playing the string.
This work explores different vocal techniques: singing, sliding, timbre play, murmuring, rhythmic speaking, declaiming and shouting. These different modes of vocal play are combined with different compositional techniques such as polyrhythm, homorhythmia, rhythmic irregularity, counterpoint, opposition and layering of sound planes.
"FRIENDSHIP" is the second part of a cycle devoted to the work of Apollinaire.
